Shikamaru and I walked home and after lunch, he told our parents that he was going to stay at Choji for the weekend. I went into my room, and slid the door shut, after that, I laid down on my bed. Finally, some alone time. I sighed and closed my eyes, but then I saw her… Kurama. I opened my eyes with a start.

What the.

What was that?

I felt dizzy. I had nightmares all week and barely managed to sleep, was my mind so messed up that it projected a clip from the anime? But then again, why did it feel so real? Why did I feel so much terror? I wasn't afraid of Kurama in my other life! I heard shuffling and then the door slid open, I turned my head to the door and I saw father, but that wasn't what shocked me. Behind father stood Kakashi. Oh, shoe.

"Pack your things." father told me and I sat up, looking at him questioningly. "You will be staying with Kakashi for the weekend." I narrowed my eyes.

"Why?" I asked, still not trusting them. Paranoia was getting the best of me, maybe they were taking me to Danzo, or getting me to a psychiatrist. Or-

"I will train you." Kakashi interrupted my thoughts with an eye-smile. He was acting again. I looked at him, but then I directed my gaze to father.

"How much time do I have?" for packing of course.

"We'll be outside, playing shogi." father answered, that meant I had either 10 minutes or 20 minutes if I guessed correctly. I nodded and got up, they both left me to pack, so I began doing it.

While Shikamaru and I were looking the same, well except that my face was more feminine and slimmer than his, and my eyes were a different color, we looked basically the same. At first glance, many would barely see the differences and if it weren't for my eye color, I bet many would not see the difference. That was why we dressed differently, we wore the same clothes, but in different colors. While he wore light blue, I wore light pink, but other than the color we were dressed the same way. I wasn't wearing girls' clothes, they weren't practical.

So, I put three shirts in the bag I got from the dresser and two pairs of pants, I put my tanto inside, my notebook with a pencil and a pen, and I strapped my kunai holder on me. After that, I put some toiletries in the bag and went to the kitchen to ask mother for money. Just in case.

I was packed and I hugged mother, after that I went outside and I saw Kakashi and father playing shogi. That meant father was talking about something important. I realized he liked to trick people into playing with him if he wanted to talk only with them and even then he only talked in riddles.

Father saw me and nodded to me, so I was allowed to go there. I put the bag down and walked past Kakashi, then I sat down, watching the game.

"I trust you got everything." father commented.

"Yes." I answered loudly and clearly, he nodded.

"Did you figure out the answer?" he asked Kakashi and he nodded.

"Yeah."

"Then there's no point in continuing this game right now." what were they talking about?

I left with Kakashi and I followed him without a word. He led us to his apartment and after he opened the door and led me in, he took my notebooks from the nearby table and looked at me.

"Explain."


And that's it for this chapter. We finally have Kakashi back, and what do you think? What were Kakashi and Shikaku talking about during shogi?

I still don't own Naruto.
